Essential Question: Is it a moral obligation to practice philanthropy?
The overarching goal of this unit is for students to analyze texts from multiple genres that relate to philanthropy, practicing close reading to infer the author's purpose and to determine the kinds of evidence and strategies authors use to support a position. As they read, students will keep a four-column journal, collecting evidence from each text, always asking what each author adds to the conversation--how each author would respond to the essential question. Using collected textual evidence as support, students will write an essay that takes a position on the essential question.
Students will also practice philanthropy by completing a service project and creating a project board to showcase and reflect on the value of their project and how they personally benefited. Students will present their project in class in a formal presentation.
